Research Abstract |
We examined the clinical application of the clasps fabricating a GFRC. To assess the applicability of GFRC clasps in oral environment, it is necessary to perform the fatigue tests in water at 37℃. In this study, constant deflection fatigue tests of straight GFRC clasps were carried out in 37℃ distilled water to examine their fatigue resistance.
